WHAT TO READ WHEN YOU ARE A GIRL IN THIS GARBAGE-FIRE WORLDSeven months ago, a billionaire bragged on camera about sexually assaulting women and your parents’ generation elected him ruler of the free world.For the young and the brave and the smart, especially for those who weren’t yet able to vote in the 2016 election, it’s easy to feel like the world has gone completely mad. That your voice doesn’t matter. That you may as well jump feet-first into The Handmaid’s Tale and hold your breath until 2020.But don’t lose hope.
